Transcription

If you had remembered it is written that the “Riches of the Gentiles shall be given to the Saints of the Most High,” perhaps you would not have asked the question. . . . There is a banking on here, $4,000,000 capital, and may be extended to an indefinite amount. Private property is holden & Kirtland bills are as safe as gold . . .
